Solve the equation. Give your simplified answer as an improper fraction.
-4(3 + x) + 5 = 4(x + 3)

x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(3 + x) + 5 = 4(x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

- 12 - 4x + 5 = 4x + 12 , that is

17 - 4x = 4x + 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

17 - 8x = 12 ( subtract 17 from both sides )

- 8x = - 5 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

x = =

15.5

step-by-step explanation:

5

∑

n = 1

substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and sum the terms

= + + + 2² + 2³

= 0.5 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 8

= 15.5
